Web Hosting and Email, Dharmo & Associates.

Web Hosting

A new home for Dharmo & Associates.

The website had been unattended for quite some time and as a result was in need of some TLC. It was being hosted with one of the major hosting companies, but their terms were limiting (or expensive), so it was falling behind in terms of security and functionality.

Description

We did an initial review of the current functionality, the services in use and the configuration of the website and associated tools – email etc.

We did a complete site backup, including email, databases and website folders, before migrating and duplicating everything on our hosting service to be sure that everything was working correctly.

More info

In this case, the domain was also registered with the same hosting provider. We migrated the domain to a new registrar (in the name of the owner) and then redirected the name servers to our hosting platform.

The result was a seamless transition, giving the client access to a de facto cPanel and all the tools needed to manage their new hosting.

Additional Services

The original site was still running on HTTP and therefore not secure, affecting the confidence of visitors as well as search engine rankings. During the transition, we upgraded the site to HTTPS with the appropriate redirections, all at no extra cost, using Let’s Encrypt™ SSL certificates.

Whilst it was not in our remit to do any work on the site itself, we did highlight the need for both a privacy policy and a GDPR compliant cookie notification system. We created the new privacy policy page and associated links as well as adding and configuring a WordPress plugin to handle the cookies in use on the site and customer acceptance /rejection of them.
